I like it. Especially the fat front tire.

I like the idea of dual disk brakes and black lower fork legs, I also like the black braided brake lines, and the elect. box cover with the chrome accent may look kinda cool too. The dual headlights are starting to grow on me. I am going to keep my '06 but I will for sure be buying some of the '08 parts.

P.S. The "Rocker" scares me, the MoCo seems to be a few years late with the wide tire look!!!

Love it!

Foot forward controls, everything about it looks sick (in a good way).

Lets see, Wideglide rear fender, Vrod seat and pipes, and a fat front tire (Fat Boy)that just looks way too big. Kinda makes the tank look small. Resembles one of those trail bikes you see in the back of outdoor mags. Not for me thanks. Maybe it will look different in person.

Me- I love it.
Except for the rear fender. That would have to go for a regular dyna fender in short order.
Other than that I think it is pretty cool. Looks like those tires would be great for foul weather.

yikes....that is stiff......and hilarious!!

i like the idea, i just think it falls short with the 16in wheel, it's just too small. they might have been better served with at least a 19in. the discs completly block out the wheel

other than that, it's interesting, i gotta see it in person. i think that's the case witht he rocker too.

I'm wondering if the wheels will swap over to 06/07 models.... I like them.

As for FatBob itself .... the Exhaust, Air Cleaner, and Chrome rear shocks would have to go.
